No, which is why I didn't say that. I said that the classic interface
will no longer be available, which is true. Generally, there's no
'Classic Interface' any more (post-11.10), but there's a few things
which provide varying degrees of similarity to it. There's even
alternatives to Gnome 3 which are also unlike Gnome 2.
